Summary:

When claims began circulating about Dr. Anthony Fauci being extradited to Russia to face trumped up charges, a fact-checking website turned to Lewis & Clark Professor John Parry.  “There is no legal basis for extraditing a US citizen to Russia,” Parry explained. “We do not have an extradition treaty with Russia, Congress has not authorized the extradition of US citizens to Russia, and the President does not have unilateral authority to extradite a US citizen to another country.”
